0.84b1: Draw tool: Effects change position of text shadow

XnView 0.84 beta1

When changing the "Blur" value of the text shadow or using/unusing "Outline" , the position of the shadow changes.

Instead, the position of the shadow should remain unchanged when changing the effects and only change when changing the offset values.

0.84 b2: Problem NOT fixed: When changing "Blur" or the size of the outline the position of the shadow still changes.

From what I can see the problem only occurs if you activate/deactivate outline.

Not fixed in 0.84 beta3:
When switching "Outline" on/off (Size: 1.2), the position of the complete text changes. (This might be a different problem but very related).

when drawing outline, i don't use same function to draw the text, so i don't know how to fix it

Could you perhaps always use the same function with parameter "outline=0"?

this function is very slow so it's not good

O.k.. The function is slow regardless what the outline is set to, right?

yes
O.k., so for now let's leave it the way it is. Closed.
